Mental Health Challenges in Children and Treatment Options
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Some mental health issues may arise in the early years of a child’s development. Psychological conditions in children include autism spectrum disorder, anxiety, ADHD, and OCD. Dr. Alejandra Suzuki applies various evidence-based techniques to limit the impact of such conditions on a child’s social and mental growth. This article outlines the challenges of childhood mental disorders and potential modalities to address them.

Mental health challenges in Children

Children sometimes experience mood changes and psychological distress. Irritability, stress, and tantrums are not necessarily signs of mental disorders. But if they persist, it could indicate a problem that requires diagnosis.

Genetic predisposition is not the only factor causing mental disorders. Psychological problems often occur when genetics and environmental variables interact. Negative emotional experiences in the early stages of growth exacerbate the impact of genetic predisposition.

Intense emotional experiences can alter brain chemistry and trigger psychological problems. Depending on the extent of the mental distress, the problem can emerge gradually or rapidly. But regardless of the cause, the psychological impact can last for a lifetime.

Additionally, children experience social and emotional challenges as they approach puberty. According to statistics, approximately 16% of individuals between 10 and 19 have mental disorders. The problems arise from social-emotional factors combined with physiological changes at that phase of their lives.

Young people require timely treatment to limit the impact of psychological disorders in the future. The earlier the individual learns to manage the condition, the lower the risk of far-reaching mental implications.

How to identify mental health issues in children

Children encounter complicated situations at home or school that may affect their psychological well-being. So, it can be challenging to discern normal reactions to environmental stressors from symptoms of mental disorders.

One of the factors that may indicate mental health problems is the duration of symptoms. Consider seeking professional psychological interventions if the following symptoms last for several weeks.

  • Aggressive behavior and frequent tantrums
  • Preoccupied with a negative outlook on life
  • Extreme aversion to social situations
  •  A persistent sense of unhappiness
  •  Irritable and often easily distracted

Parental instinct can help you discern between symptoms of mental problems from temporary distress. Parents should also note physical signs like lack of appetite, inadequate sleep, or unhealthy weight loss.

You can gain more insights by encouraging your young ones to talk about their feelings. Consult a child psychiatrist for a thorough mental health diagnosis when in doubt.

Mental health interventions for children

Diagnosis precedes mental health treatment and could include tests and behavior reports from the school. The diagnostic results define the ideal treatment process to address psychological disorders.

Psychotherapy is one of the modalities for mental health disorders, aiming to develop the child’s social and emotional aspects. By equipping children with skills, the process can relieve distress and manage psychological conditions.

Some children may require medication to address some debilitating symptoms of the psychological condition. Medication can complement psychotherapy for better long-term results. The prescription is written after consultation with healthcare professionals to ensure safety and efficacy.
